Brit singers late 80s-90s....roses, mondays, etc..

Phase, you could not be incorrect, they do carry tunes very well, its the way the songs sound best. Would the bands you mention (all mancs by the way) sound better with Pavarotti doing vocals? I think not.

Perhaps it the way boys from the wrong side of the pennines can't speak or sing, and I use the word 'sing' loosely as to what HRH would approve of,lol.............
Phase, you maybe waiting a long time for lead singers to have
singing lessons, when bands start out they hardly enough for food and ciggies!
I say forget the vocal talent, and just sit back and enjoy.
I mean how many people love Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and Mark ( call that a tuneful voice?) Knopfler.
Hope you don't start knocking punk bands,lol!
